From celebrated design expert and interior designer Athena Calderone, a look into how creatives decorate their spaces
Athena Calderone is the creator of the lifestyle site EyeSwoon and author of the James Beard award-winning cookbook Cook Beautiful. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
"Athena brings her exquisite curatorial eye to everything she does,
and this book is no exception. Live Beautiful is a
voyeuristic adventure that I honestly devoured at the same pace as
some of my favorite novels!"
--Emma Roberts "founder of Belletrist"
"Athena has masterfully curated a collection of truly remarkable
examples of beauty meeting pragmatism. This book is so full of
inspiration it almost feels like cheating when you realize she has
given you the clues to replicate each stunning project. I will
forever use this as a source for all my design dreams, both the
practical and elaborate."
--Olivia Wilde
"Athena not only Lives Beautiful, but she Teaches Beautiful. This
book is filled with her wisdom, insight, and direction on how to
create and curate a space that will always feel like home."
--Bobby Berk "interior designer and star of Netflix's Queer
Eye"
"Athena's beautiful book is a testament to her incredible skill
set. The true talent of a designer is to not just create a
beautiful and functional space, but recognize something special and
individual, based on those who will be living there. This is so
true of Athena. Each space displayed in her book shows an innate
understanding of the individual, and despite each being completely
distinctive, Athena recognizes the beauty of the uniqueness. The
more time I spend reading, the more I learn that there is no design
rule book as to what something should be. Athena's book is a true
exploration of what it can be."
--Naomi Watts
"I don't know how Athena does it. I just know that I can't. At
least this book might help."
--Laura Brown "Editor-in-Chief of InStyle"
"If you're looking to become deeply inspired and fall in love with
design all over again, this is the book. There is something so
ethereal about Athena and everything she does--and this book is no
exception. Not only are her own spaces beyond divine, she found the
same kind of magic in so many others' homes that we are lucky
enough to peek into. Athena knows how to break the mold and I am
forever inspired by her work."
--Amber Lewis "founder of Amber Interiors Design Studio"
"In her inherently articulate and swoonworthy way, Athena unpacks
the collective beauty of the diverse interiors in this book and
distills it through her personal and highly passionate lens to
offer the strategic hows and whys of the creative design journey. A
truly inviting celebration of beautiful spaces."
